The windows relay activate with a combination of the microswitch that gets pressed when the clamshell closes on top of the convertible motor and the one located in the dome light hook nest in front. In fact by just releasing the top latch the windows roll down. if you press the clamshell down (enough to activate the rear microswitch) and press the small tab in the front latch the windows should roll up completely....maybe because when you removed the ball joints the latch is not pressing deep enough to activate the front microswitch...try inserting a small piece of paper of cardboard and see if it works.....Good luck!
